My thrust today was to meet up for drinks with a judge I know and it happens that the bartender that comes in at 4 is a cop. So I wanted to lock in, well, how can I say it pleasantly.... How I can shove it up the arse of the police. It appears, from what the judge and the cop told me, that the cop cannot refuse a police report. So it's been a productive day. How often goes one get an opportunity to crucify a cop? I never hated cops, but it seems over here that the police have diverted resources because they are afraid of terrorist attacks. Yes, Virginia, we could have an all-out assault on West Orange, New Jersey. I thought of this after I complained in a letter to Fleet Bank, my mother's account. I told them that the WO Police would not file a report. So think about this. I hand-wrote the envelopes. I copied the Jersey cops because they refused to file a report. These people are looking at my copy, hand-written, figuring it has anthrax in it. One thing I agree with the rest of the world about. Jersey ain't got the smartest guys on the face of the planet. The freakin' letter has my return address on it. Cops in this area will do anything to throw off the blame. By next week I'll be accused of anthrax poisoning. This may be a fun week. I cannot point out a cop because he hides his badge number behind tape. He wears no identity tag. Next time I have to bring a bodyguard to the station. Oddly enough, I can do that. Ever even consider that? I can, I actually have two of them. It is so cool. I have two guys who can bust up any five or six guys you will ever meet. I love that. They are relations, of course. It' s still wild that you have coverage no matter what happens. The South has NASCAR, the North has the Mafia, and I have big freakin' relatives. Works for me.
